Livestreaming the 2019 Annual Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas Conference: Crossing Borders, Pt. 2: Action in a Time of Division from Chicago, Illinois livestreaming on the global, commons-based peer-produced HowlRound TV network on Thursday 20 June to Saturday 22 June 2019.
Crossing Borders, Pt. 2 welcomes panels, round tables, workshops, and other dynamic conversations about what constitutes “action” for positive social change in a time of crisis; and which illumine how we build pathways to collaboration across imagined and real borders – including, but not limited to, the ones found in our host communities in Chicago. We invite presenters to explore how artists and academics instigate positive action in a time of division, asking:
How might dramaturgs...
- facilitate necessary conversations within our institutions and communities?
- promote inclusion on our stages and throughout our practice?
- shape programming to speak to the pressing issues of the moment?
- cultivate new audiences and foster new artists?
- spur political engagement and facilitate direct political actions
- understand how borders as physical and social constructs impact the way theaters solicit, produce, and commodify art and artists?
- interrogate how and when dramaturgs choose to reinforce or disrupt borders?
